The digital revolution entails that all important aspects of our existence fundamentally change: How we see the world and how we see ourselves, how we think, how we work, how we relate to and communicate with each other, and what is even possible to imagine. Everything is set in motion, which means that Philosophy must also set itself in motion. It must philosophize about its own movement, and even about movement as such. The history of who we are, where we come from, and where we are going must be rewritten. This is what Alexander Bard and Jan Soederqvist perform in The Futurica Trilogy, originally published between 2000-2009. The Netocrats show how a new elite with new qualities under new conditions grows strong and replaces the bourgeois capitalists of the old paradigm. The Global Empire discusses - among other things - how the global communication networks create a need for political decision-making on a global level. And The Body Machines delves into the philosophical consequences of the dissolution of the concept of The Individual, which follows from the new all-powerful network structures.
